Sangioveto di Badia a Coltibuono was created in 1980 as an affirmation of Chianti pride and as a recognition of the quality of the best Sangiovese of this area.
The rules of Chianti Classico didn't allow the possibility of using only Sangiovese and thus was born one of the first SuperTuscans made with 100% Sangiovese.

2004 was characterized by a “traditional” climate where alternating periods of atmospheric disturbance and stability provided temperatures in line with historical averages. The spring rains and hot summer resulted in exceptional quality with excellent grape concentrations. Hand picking made it possible to carefully select the grapes in the vineyards and, subsequently, on the grading table inside the winery.
Harvest period: 7th October - 27th October
Dark ruby colour with shades of purple. Very intense nose with bouquet of balsamic, flowery violet, iris, spices, red fruits, vanilla and cloves.
